The Von Erichs

Veteran cow punks the Von Ehrics, named after the infamous family of wrestling brothers, are currently on tour to support the release of their latest album, TWO FOOT STOMP.

These Von Ehrics are already recognized for slaying audiences with their very own distorted style of country, gospel, soul, metal and punk.

Fans of late, however, are growing increasingly agitated, aggressive and even losing control as only punk rock can do to one’s mind and soul in such circumstances. Bar owners and insiders are whispering that even a few fans have had to be carried out of shows recently.

Some blame the over consumption of whiskey on it, as that is another thing the Von Ehrics are already recognized for. Others, however, blame it on an alleged curse that began many years ago in their hometown of Dallas with a close knit family of professional athletes who died tragically one after another during the 80’s.
